      Team! Thank you very much for the mention.

      I believe #Finops should be a more common topic among us. 😎

            Thanks for another amazing recap and also for the mention!
            ​@Rick Vanover I really don’t know what you are meaning with Markus... aka “never go drinking with him in Munich” 😂
            The shots were ordered by your colleague Markus Hergt 😅 
            It was great to see you again.

                    Hi ​@Madi.Cristil​​​​​​ and @Rick Vanover  , regarding the language we are using during a physical VUG… it depends. If everyone speaks and understand Dutch (Flemish) we do it in Dutch. Otherwise we do it in English.

                            Great recap. Can’t believe it is 266 already!!!  Finops is becoming a larger and larger topic everywhere.

                                    I hope you guys do, that is a big milestone.

                                    Make it an in person event!!! jk 😆 That likely isn’t possible, but perhaps a live show or something would be fun.
